Q

Steps of the Scientific Method (5)

A

Identify the problem

Proposes a hypothesis

Test the Hypothesis

Formulate a therory with explains the observed behavior of matter

Theory becomes a law

24
Q

How to test your hypothesis (3)

A

experiment

collect and analyze data

search for patterns

25
two types of Physical changes
Intensive and Extenstive
26
intensive changes
depends on the type of matter, not the amount
27
Extensive changes
dependent of the amount of matter, not the type
28
Density
the ratio of a mass of an object to its volume D = M / V
29
Homogenous
a constant compostition
30
solutions
a homogenous mixture; consists of solutes dissolved in a solvent
31
Heterogenous
a different composition
32
Fire Triangle
fuel spark supporter
33
fuel
something with hydrogen and carbon
34
spark
something to raise the temp to the kindling point
35
Kinetic energy
the energy of motion
36
3 types of kinetic energy
translational rotational vibrational
37
Translational
movement from place to place
38
Rotational
movement about an axis
39
Vibrational
Bending and stretching
40
bond breaking ____ energy
requires
41
Bond making ___ energy
releases
42
What happens at a?
substance is solid temp and KE = up Trans = 0 Rot. & Vib.= up
43
What happens at b?
energy used to break bonds temp and KE = constant Trans = up Rot. & Vib.= down
44
What happens at c?
substance is liquid has small clusters of particles temp and KE = up Trans = up Rot. & Vib.= up
45
What happens at d?
Boiling Point energu added used to break bonds temp and KE = constant Trans = up Rot. & Vib.= down
46
What happens at e?
substance is a gas individual paricles temp and KE = up Trans = up Rot. & Vib.= up
47
Triple Point
where liquids, solids, and gases all excist
48
critical point
the point where gas cannot be liquified
49
mass
constant measure of the amount of matter in an object measured w/ balance
50
weight
a measure of the force exerted by the earth (gravity) on an object which varies location form the center of the earth measured w/ scale
51
Accuracy
how close the value is to the achieved or accepted value
52
Precision
duplication of results
53
Two types of error
systematic and random
54
systematic error
when values a consistantly higher or lower than the actual value
55
Random error
when values are both higher and lower then the acual value
